Is Honors College worth it?

I’m going to Umaine, and got accepted into the honors college, but I’m not sure it’s worth it. I’m going to be living at home, so the special dorm isn’t a benefit, I’m doing a difficult double major, and I have most of my gen Ed done already from AP classes. The classes and programs themselves don’t sound particularly interesting, seeing as I’m not really a Humanities person. The only real benefit I can see to joining is if members get preferential treatment when it comes to things like internships, research, and jobs on campus. So I wanted to ask, is this true? Do these people get preferential treatment, or is it for the most part irrelevant when it comes to that?
